Disney Reveals Box Art and Extras for "Wreck-It Ralph"

by Lex Walker

As if to remind the world that Disney can put out high-quality animated films that don't have the Pixar stamp on them, they've released two terrific animated features since 2010 in the form of Tangled and this year's Wreck-It Ralph. While Tangled has its moments, Wreck-It Ralph was easily my runaway favorite of the year with its non-stop deluge of jokes related to retro and modern gaming, as well as its incredibly vibrant palette and some solid voice acting by John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, and more. The trailers made it look funny just by its trailer, but Wreck-It Ralph still managed to surprise me with just how superb Rich Moore and his team made it. This one really has it all, and while it'll keep the kiddies thoroughly entertained, it's likely the adults in the room that'll be laughing all the way through. No other American animated film even comes close to Wreck-It Ralph this year, it's that simple.

Disney has announced that Wreck-It Ralph will be uploading to Blu-ray and DVD on March 5th, and for an advance look at the box art and extra features, just keep reading.
